John Barrowman didn't die!

The popular actor, who portrays Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood, managed to survive a terrifying high-speed crash after losing control of his car.

Barrowman, 42, whose character on the show cannot die, was filming a slot for Fifth Gear when the accident happened.

I hope all of us here on Fandom Lounge can come together in our moment of not!grief.

Mrs. Slocombe is no longer free.

OH MY FUCKING GOD
Michael Jackson Dies
Posted Jun 25th 2009 5:20PM by TMZ Staff
We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.


OH MY GOD.

I am shaking, ngl.


ETA:
I hope it's not true. PLEASE LET IT BE FAKE.

WHY WON'T ANYONE CONFIRM THIS, GDI.


TMZ IS THE ONLY ONE REPORTING THE DEATH, NEEDS CONFIRMATION FIRST


POTENTIAL CONFIRMATION? OH GOD I HOPE NOT


ETA AGIAN, VIA TWITTER: According to @FSBigBob KTLA, KCBS, CNN, and MSNBC are still reporting MJ is alive.

EVERYTHING IS SLOW I AM IN PERMA CAPSLOCK.


ETA:
Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.

Holy fucking shit, he's dead.

;_; for reals. No, really. :'(

MSNBC, NBC, CBS, among others confirm death. CNN, Fox...


I am not even kidding when I say it was a dream of mine to see him in concert. I am so sad, I don't even know what to say or do right now.

LJ is still down, wiki is nutso, Twitter is ROBUST LIKE WHOA. And, omg, radio stations are only playing Michael.


ETA:
I'm guessing they fixed LJ by suspending ONTD. Which is now back up, comments disabled.



WAY TO STAY CLASSY ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT:

Post by one of the s_d mods, clarifying some of the confusion.

Some Semi-Wanky to Wanky bits of calling for Peter David's head. Also, that last comment by a writer probably won't be going anywhere good, unless the OP ignores it.
